The 2023 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide offers the latest information outpatient CDI professionals need to know

CDI professionals need a day-to-day reference when conducting their outpatient medical record reviews. One that can provide trusted clinical indicators for compliant and effective physician clarifications. The 2023 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide is the essential resource for outpatient coding guidance, HCC updates, compliant query best practices and standards, E/M requirements, and diagnostic definitions.

What is NEW in the 2023 edition?
